What is aerobic bacteria?

Aerobic bacteria are the bacteria that utilize oxygen for growth and oxygen-based metabolism.

Some bacteria are obligate aerobes that they require oxygen for aerobic respiration. Others can switch to anaerobic methods if oxygen is not present.

Good examples of aerobic bacteria are Nocardia sp., Psuedomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Bacillus sp.
